Could a Plus-Size Season of "Project Runway" Be in the Works?

Tim Gunn seems ready to break new ground.

Project Runway mentor, Tim Gunn, gave the world yet another reason to love him during a recent roundtable discussion hosted by The Hollywood Reporter. When asked what reality show he has not done yet, but would like to, Gunn responded, "I would like to do a season of Project Runway where every model is larger than a size 12."

"That is a great idea," said The Voice host and fellow roundtable participant, Carson Daly.

Hopefully Gunn can exert some influence over the producers of Project Runway to make that happen sooner rather than later, if not on Project Runway then on his own spinoff show Under the Gunn, where he undoubtedly has greater creative control. Gunn has long been a vocal supporter of size diversity in the fashion industry, but talk and action are two very different things and the time for action is now.
